[quote=dmgbear55]The JVC unit does not have GPS or many of the features of the Garmin. One feature it does have though is a working microphone so you can actually hear the sound of the water and conversation. I have used it on my rafting trips many times and it is cool to be able to hear the actual roar of the rapid. The GoPro's suck at sound. When I say this is a small camera I mean small, about 1/4 of the size and weight of your Garmin. The big problem I have with my little camera is that it is nearly impossible to see the screen in bright sunlight, so you don't know what it is doing. But when you can see the screen at least you can figure out the menu system, far better than the GoPro again. My latest mount setup is to use the handle on the daggerboard and face the camera forward. I think that will do a good job of being stable, not so much the action aft, although it could be pointed in different directions easily enough.
Your video has been impressive for how stable it is. I would have expected more vibration from the sail on the shroud. Maybe the Garmin has some good stabilization, or is the shroud mount just that stable?[/quote]
